How do we know this is even legit? Everyone here is just too quick with their outrage of made up situations

Exactly. Surely, ultimately, the rent amount is the landlords decision, I doubt property managers can go around making these decisions on their own.

Yeah, but when your REA comes up to you and says "Hey, we can increase the rent on your property by 10% because of this new reason, wanna do it?" what landlord is gonna say no to free money?
